Teribus: " Hezbollah and Iran ultimately want the "stain" of Israel erradicated and washed from Arab Lands"

Mmmm. It seems the Israelis are currently doing their best to eradicate 'the stain of the Palestinians' from the West Bank, seize their homes and farms and set themselves up in colonies there having displaced the natives. They've even gone as far as building a wall deep into the West Bank in order to mark out their newly acquired land. They build roads all through this annexed country which Palestinians are not allowed to use in any way. Now when the Palestinians try and resist all this disposession, they are called 'terrorists'. In doing so the Israelis have completely ignored two UN security council resolutions: 242 and 338, both of which insist that Israel must withdraw from Arab land seized during the 1967 war, and that continued occupation of that land and transferral of its civilian population into that land, constitues a war crime. Israel would also be currently sitting on a large chunk of southern Lebanon if Hizbullah hadn't stopped them in their tracks. Once again, the Israeli invasion is known as a 'security operation' while the Hizbullah attempt to stop it is known as 'terrorism'. Normally in war, the first casualty they say, is the truth, but in this so-called war on terror, the first casulaty has been the English language. The Israelis are especially adept at dressing their murder, vandalism (as when they bulldoze Palestinian farms and villages) and racism in euphemistic terms, but the truth will always out.

Once again, I'm not saying Iranian, Syrian etc., society is perfect, but let's call a spade a spade here.

This link gives an interesting snippet of life in the West Bank - these were a British film crew, can you imagine what Palestinians have to put up with? Incidentally, I don't agree with many of the comments posted below the film clip - quite a few display a frightening and disturbing level of anti-semitism (in spite of what you pro-Israeli apologists believe, I quite understand the difference between being opposed to the policies of the government of a state and its supporters when they are in flagrant breach of human rights, and being biased against a whole race of people).
